Chris Harper-Mercer: Shooter who killed 10 'was Nazi fanatic who supported the IRA'
Express ^ | 10-1-2015 | Tom Parfitt

EXCLUSIVE: THE shooter who killed at least 10 people at a US college has been identified as 26-year-old Chris Harper-Mercer, who appeared to have bought Nazi paraphernalia online and supported the IRA.

In disturbing images posted online, Harper-Mercer posed with guns and shared pro-IRA newspaper front pages, an Express.co.uk investigation has found.

He also posted a three-minute video on the social networking site MySpace featuring IRA fighters branding guns and wearing balaclavas.

On his dating profile on the website Spiritual Passions, he wrote that he "doesn't like organised religion".

His username on the dating site was ironcross45 – a possible reference to the Iron Cross, a German military symbol reintroduced by the Nazis.

A user with the same name spent almost £100 on a Nazi SS officers' cap on a different website over two years ago.

In a review posted online, the user wrote: "I have received my order. The customer service is the very best, they are fast and very great to work with.

"I highly recommend this company they are a great pleasure to work with. there attention to detail is awesome.

"i will continue to make purchases from this company. i am very impressed with there products/service and highly recommend them. thanks Steve"

It is not known whether Harper-Mercer attended Umpqua Community College in Oregon, where the shooting took place.

He was armed with three handguns and an AR-15-style long gun, and was killed after a shootout with police on the scene yesterday, according to reports.

In his dating profile he described himself as "Not Religious, Not Religious, but Spiritual".

He described himself as a "lover, conservative, professional, intellectual, introvert" – and under his interests listed the “internet, killing zombies, movies, music, reading".

Harper Mercer also said he was "mixed race", did not drink and was a "conservative, Republican".

He also appeared to write a blog post hosted on a torrent site about Vester Flanagan, who shot two journalists live on air in late August.

He reportedly wrote: "I have noticed that so many people like him are all alone and unknown, yet when they spill a little blood, the whole world knows who they are.

"A man who was known by no one, is now known by everyone. His face splashed across every screen, his name across the lips of every person on the planet, all in the course of one day.

"Seems the more people you kill, the more your’re [sic] in the limelight."

The most recent torrent uploaded by the account username was a BBC documentary about the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting, according to Gawker.

Exactly. The mixed race Nazi is just one of many contradictions. Either he was entirely mentally ill and so did not perceive the many contradictions he displayed, or the entire thing is bogus.

A “conservative republican” who doesn’t have his webpostings littered with conservative republican links? No Breitbart, Freeper, Fox and Levin and Rush and Alan West links and so on, who likes the IRA and weird web sites?

Isn’t liking the IRA more of a John Kerry & Ted Kennedy thing?

Good point, the glasses do look like NOI.
And NOI does have relations, oddly enough, with Stormfront and the like. Probably with the IRA as well but I don’t recall- I know the Farrakhan crowd was very fond of Qadaffi.

If its not a hand gun the MSM identifies it as an assault rifle. :-)

If only we had ONE connection at those liberal garbage alphabet channels.

We do have Fox. Even though i dont watch it anymore, they do get stories out that no one else will.

They’re rinos but useful fur that at leat.

And Sheryll Atkinson, or some name like that. i think she left the alphabet networks because of their sinister ways
